"This approach benefitted our client, whose team was small and inexperienced in pharmaceutical drug development."
I just do not understand why two similiar words are used together here, for any purpose? Does 'pharmaceutical' here mean "manufacturing drug"?

"Pharmaceutical drug development" means pharmaceutical drug Research & Development (R&D) as supposed to manufacturing, in which "R&D" corresponds to "development" as supposed to "pharmaceutical". These two similar words ("pharmaceutical" and "drug") are arranged so to emphasize the work nature, as not all drugs are pharmaceutical.

Sorry I only saw half of the term ""manufacturing drug" you were mentioning. Still, I believe development should mean R&D as supposed to manufacturing.

作者可能是为了明确，这里的 drug 是指 medicinal product，用于医学治疗。在某些上下文中，drug 一词可以指违禁药品、毒品，例如 drug abuse。
