Non-canonic background:
In 2268, the Mirgoou-System near Vulcan was evacuated because of a massive ion-storm devastating great areas in the sector. In those days, the orbit of Migoou IV sustained a large Federation fleet-yard. Short of time, the federation EVAC-teams saved all of the settlers and yard-personell, but had to leave lots of material behind. That included seven Constitution class starships in the construction phase.

The deadly radiation lasted over 90 years.

In 2371 the aftereffects of the ion-storm vanished and the recolonisation of the planet-system had begun. The yard was taken in service again. So the federation gained seven Constitution ships (again). One ship, 28% ready build, was destined for recycling. An other one, 45% ready, was taken to the Starfleet-engineer-museum on the Saturn-moon Europa.
The remainig five ships (between 75% and 95% ready) were completed in the following three years and gained a total refit, matching the technologie-level of the Ambassador class. The last three starships of the Constitution class that were in active service also got their (probably last) refit. Starfleet assumes a lifetime of 30 years for the refited ships.

And yes, i am sorry for that bad english ;)
