答案

注意句子后面跟的 until hundreds of years later,这句是"将来时"被动语态的写法.
which 引导的定语从句指代 machines,were not "to be built" until ...意思是这些机器有图纸但直到数百年之后都 “还不会被建造”.
对当时而言,确实是很久远之后才会发生的事,所以用将来时.
被动语态的基本句式是 be 动词 + 动词过去分词,还得根据语境做出时态上的调整.
基本的时态如下（以你例句中的动词 “建造” build为例）：
现在时：(is/are) built
过去时：(was/were) built
将来时：to be built
完成时：have/has/had been built
进行时：is/are being built
