Morphology
The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'project' (a planned piece of work) with 'budget' (a plan of money to spend), referring to the budget associated with a particular project. This noun+noun compositional pattern is common and predictable across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Project budget is easy to picture: imagine a specific project with its own small money bag called a budget. That image shows why a 'project budget' means the planned amount of money and resources set aside for that project.
