Morphology
The meaning 'an idea that is difficult to understand because it involves many interconnected parts' is directly and transparently derived from 'complex' (consisting of many interrelated, intricate parts) modifying 'concept' (an idea). This simple adjective + noun compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and would be inferable by a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Complex concept shows a picture of a concept made of many linked parts and so complex, like a puzzle or a knot. Because the parts are connected and affect each other, the whole is hard to understand, so the phrase means 'an idea that is difficult to understand'.
