Morphology
The meaning 'amount of time required to send data' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'transmission' (the act of sending data) with 'time' (duration). This straightforward noun+noun composition follows common compositional patterns (and parallels in other languages), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Transmission time is like how long a parcel takes to travel along a road: the bigger the parcel or the slower the road, the longer the trip. The transmission is the sending and the time is how long it takes, so the phrase means the 'time' needed to send data over a link.
