Didn't something like this happen in the Pern series? Where the fantasy suddenly made turn into being sci fi and some giant old computer system turned out to be the solution to everyone's problems?

It was always humans settled on an alien planet and there was always time travel, but yeah, the exact specifics, ie the damned computer, showed up a decade into publishing.

Pern was always nominally sci-fi, because it's from before fantasy really existed as a commonplace publishing genre / marketing category, so there were a bunch of things that would be published as straight-out fantasy today but got published as science fiction instead because it was easier to market it that way.

Yes. Teenage me was very upset about it.

I think the computer was past the time I stopped reading those books, but the one prequel that revealed things about the settlers coming in ships from Earth and how the three bright stars they always talked about were actually leftover satellites blew preteen me's mind. I thought it was awesome.
