Newly-built Factories and/or mines, same as Starbases, massdrivers, Gates, Terraforming, or even just-dropped pop, don't start "working" until the next turn. 
Production, as has been suggested before, taking a cue from other games that do it the same, probably happens on a planet-by-planet basis, executing each queue and dumping the corresponding allocation to Research before starting with the next planet. 
Now, depending on when the Research budget is spent, new techs could take effect in the middle of traversing the planet list (including miniaturization and/or Terra) or at the end of it, or at another later time. 
Often, players have experienced sudden activation of "grayed out" autoTerra orders due to new Terra-enabling tech being reached, which in turn sucked out the excess Resources allocated to further Research. That would imply a per-planet basis to it all. 
Of course, any testbeds showing one thing or another would be very welcome!
So many Stars, so few Missiles!
