compound past
Theis term is used in many French grammar books for any form of past tense containing an auxiliary (avoir or etre - sorry of the lack of diacritics). Google search reveals that both 'composite' and 'composed' have more or less the same number of entries while 'composite' has only about 12% of the entries of the above two (separately)

composite past
While I agree with Cinefil that it is passé composé, the English phrase for that should be composite past.
Example sentence:
I have come to work.
I have washed my face.

: The trouble with your examples is that they are usually translated as 現在完了

passé composé
Is there some reason to avoid using the French term? The English Wikipedia article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passé_composé) does, as do most of the English sites discussing French grammar. If the source is dealing specifically with French linguistics and the intended audience is familiar with the associated terms, then this probably makes the most sense.
