Morphology
The meaning 'a particular day or time that will occur after the present' is directly and transparently derivable from combining 'future' (pertaining to what will happen) with 'date' (a day on the calendar). This adj + noun compositional pattern is common cross-linguistically and follows normal English semantics, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily understand the MWE.
Etymology
The noun future date comes from the picture of a calendar: date means a day and future means time after now, so it is a day you mark to happen later. That's why it means 'a day or time that will happen later', often for a planned event.
