Morphology

project + file

The meaning 'a file containing information related to a project' is directly and compositionally derived from 'project' (a planned piece of work) + 'file' (a collection of documents). This noun‑noun compound follows standard English composition patterns and similar constructions exist in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.

Etymology

Project file comes from the simple idea of keeping all papers for one project in a single file or folder. So today it means a computer or paper file that keeps all a project's 'information' together.
