Morphology

streamline + project + management

The meaning 'to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of managing projects' is directly derivable from combining 'streamline' (organize for better efficiency) with the noun phrase 'project management' (the activity of managing projects). This is a straightforward verb + noun composition using literal senses and follows common cross-linguistic logic, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily understand it.

Etymology

Streamline project management may come from the image of clearing a river so a boat can travel in one smooth line without obstacles. So, to streamline project management means to remove extra steps and make the work flow 'faster' and 'simpler'.
