Morphology

nondevelopmental = developmental (transparent) = non + develop + ment + al

The word 'nondevelopmental' is clearly derived from 'developmental' with the prefix 'non-' indicating negation.

Etymology

Nondevelopmental combines non- meaning 'not' and developmental from develop meaning 'to grow' or 'to make something new'. Think of a ready-made product you buy instead of something made for your project, so nondevelopmental means already existing or not newly developed for a specific project.
