Morphology
The meaning 'a task that involves writing' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'written' (in written form) with 'assignment' (a task). This adjective+noun composition follows a standard, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Written assignment comes from the simple school idea of a teacher giving you work to do on paper. The word assignment means a 'task' someone is 'given' and adding written shows it must be done by writing, so today it means a piece of school work you must write.
