Morphology

bulletproof + design

The phrase is directly compositional: 'bulletproof' (resistant to bullets/penetration) modifies 'design' (a plan or structure), so a learner who knows both words can infer a design that resists bullets or attacks. This follows standard adjective + noun composition and parallels constructions in many languages, making the meaning immediately recoverable for B1 learners.

Etymology

Bulletproof design comes from the image of a product or plan that is truly bulletproof, able to stop bullets and protect what is inside. So, the phrase means a design that is very strong and 'very secure' against attacks or problems.
