Morphology
The meaning 'a task involving creation or crafting of items from wood' is directly and compositionally built from 'woodworking' (making objects from wood) + 'project' (a planned piece of work). This straightforward modifier–head noun combination follows common compounding patterns cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Woodworking project gives a simple picture: someone using tools and wood to make something, because woodworking means working with wood and project means a planned task. So it means 'a task of making or building things from wood'.
