Morphology
over + budget
The meaning 'costing more than planned' is directly and compositionally derived from 'over' (exceeding) + 'budget' (planned money); a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the phrase. This is a common English combinatory pattern (over + noun = exceeding) and has clear parallels in many languages, so it is readily comprehensible.
Etymology
The phrase over budget comes from a simple picture: a money plan called a budget with a clear limit. If spending goes over that limit, you have spent more than planned, so over budget means 'to cost more than planned'.
