Morphology
The meaning 'the process of creating or improving products' is directly derivable from combining 'product' (a manufactured item) with 'development' (a process of making or improving). This compositional noun‑noun phrase follows common, cross‑linguistic patterns and is predictable for a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Product development puts product, the thing a company sells, together with development, the steps of growing and improving it, like turning an idea into something ready for customers. So product development means the work of 'creating new products' or 'improving existing ones'.
