Morphology
ramification + of
The noun 'ramification' already encodes the idea of a consequence or outcome and the preposition 'of' simply links that consequence to its source, so the meaning 'consequences of X' is directly compositional. This noun + of pattern is a common, cross-linguistic way to express results, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The phrase ramification of comes from the image of branches on a tree, because the word ramification meant a 'branch'. So when one decision grows many different paths, those paths are its 'consequences' or 'outcomes'.
