Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'limited' (confined in scope) modifies 'review' (an examination), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it denotes a review with restricted scope or thoroughness. This ADJ+N pattern is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common construction, making the phrase readily interpretable without specialist knowledge.
Etymology
Limited review comes from the simple idea of a smaller, focused check: limited means not full and review means to look over the records. Picture an accountant checking only the key parts instead of doing a full 'audit', so the phrase now means a cheaper, smaller check that gives some, but not full, 'confidence' in the numbers.
