Morphology
The phrase is compositionally formed: 'developmental' qualifies 'age', so a learner who knows both words can infer it refers to an age related to development (an age-level for developmental abilities). However, the term is technical—distinguishing developmental age from chronological age—and that specialized nuance may not be fully predictable to a B1 learner without prior exposure.
Etymology
Developmental age The noun developmental age comes from the simple idea of measuring a child's skills by the age when most children can do them, like saying a child acts like a five-year-old. So, developmental age shows a child's level of development rather than their real years.
