Morphology
preformulated = preformulate (transparent) = pre + formula + ate + ed
The adjective is a regular participial formation from the verb 'preformulate' with the expected meaning 'having been formulated in advance'.
Etymology
Preformulated begins with pre- meaning 'before' and uses formula meaning 'a recipe' or 'fixed method'. So a preformulated product is one that is made ahead of time using a set recipe or method, which is why it is prepared in advance to give the same result every time.
