Morphology

development + process

The phrase's meaning is directly compositional: 'development' (the act of creating or improving) combined with 'process' (a sequence of steps) yields 'the series of steps involved in development.' This noun+noun pattern is common and cross-linguistically transparent (e.g. Spanish 'proceso de desarrollo'), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Development process joins two simple ideas: development means making something grow or finish, and process means a series of 'steps'. Imagine building a house where each step helps the house grow into the final product, so development process means the series of steps to create something.
