Is my expressing correct? Thank you for the correction.
I just now saw a question requiring me to 'outline how the current problem came about'. I'm confused about the question concerned with the word 'how'. I'm wondering if the task asking me to give reasons for the arising problem or to list a series of phenomena that present the current problem.

The 'how' part of the question is asking you to consider what the causes are. For example, what caused the problem? You may also want to consider what factors have an impact on the problem (what makes the problem worse/better) and how the problem has developed. An 'outline' typically involves giving a description with some detail but not a massive amount so you may want to focus more on the initial causes.

The word “outline” means to organize your answer by statimg your main idea followed by your supporting points. So, to “explain” or, as you wrote, “to give reasons” as to why the problem arose, would be my guess...
