Morphology
The meaning 'detailed examination of the components and interactions of a system' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'system' (a collection of interacting components) with 'analysis' (systematic examination). This N+N composition follows a standard, cross-linguistically common pattern, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Systems analysis began with engineers who looked at a whole machine or business like a map of parts and connections. The word systems means the set of parts and analysis means close study, so it now means 'a detailed study of a system to find what to change or improve'.
