Morphology
The phrase is a straightforward compound: 'redevelopment' (the process of renovating or renewing an area) combined with 'authority' (a public body or agency). A B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer it refers to a public agency responsible for redevelopment, since this noun+noun composition is compositional and cross-linguistically common.
Etymology
Redevelopment authority combines redevelopment ('building or improving something again') and authority ('a public group with power'). These groups were set up to rebuild old or empty parts of a city, so the name came to mean 'a public agency that plans and manages the renewal of run-down city areas'.
