Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built from 'flexible' (able to change or adapt) and 'framework' (an organized structure), so the meaning 'a structure that can be readily adapted' is directly derivable from its parts. This adjective+noun pattern is common across languages and follows standard English composition, so a B1 learner who knows both words should understand the MWE.
Etymology
The term flexible framework comes from imagining a frame, the framework, made of bendy parts, the flexible part, that can move to fit different shapes. So a 'flexible framework' is a plan or system that can be changed easily to meet new needs.
