Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'permanent' (lasting a long time) modifies 'injunction' (a court order restraining conduct), so the phrase denotes an injunction that is lasting. A B1 learner who knows both constituents can therefore infer the MWE meaning without prior exposure, despite 'injunction' being somewhat legalistic.
Etymology
The term permanent injunction comes from old court orders: an injunction was a judge's command to 'stop' someone doing something, and permanent means it is meant to 'last forever'. So the phrase means a court order that stops an action for good.
