Morphology
The meaning 'maintenance carried out at a prearranged time' is directly and transparently composed from 'scheduled' (set to happen at a particular time) + 'maintenance' (servicing/repairs). This adjective+noun construction follows standard, cross-linguistically common composition patterns, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents should understand it.
Etymology
Scheduled maintenance creates a clear image: a calendar with a toolbox. scheduled means planned at a fixed time and maintenance means regular care or checks on machines. So it means doing care at 'set times' to stop breakdowns.
