Morphology
The meaning 'a modification or shift in policy' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'policy' (a plan or principle guiding decisions) with 'change' (the act or state of being different), yielding the straightforward interpretation 'a change in policy'. This noun+noun composition is a common, compositional pattern in English (and many other languages), so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Policy change gives the picture of leaders taking an old rule book and putting in a new one, where policy means the rules and change is replacing them. So, it means 'an important change in rules or direction'.
