It would make sense if it were directly connected but it didn't evolve that way.

The ovary has many eggs. The connection is not direct to the ovary and the oviduct has to "catch" the egg as it leaves the ovary. At times the egg is not "caught" but gets into the free space. If the egg becomes fertilized, the fetus can began to develop outside the uterus.

Why aren't the fallopian tubes permanantly connected to the ovaries?

Because when eggs are released from the ovaries, they are released all over the place, not from a certain point from the ovary. If the ovary was attached it would not prove very effective to be able to reproduce. When fallopian tubes are not attached to the ovaries they are able to pick up the released egg from the are surrounding the ovary, and transport in to the uterus, allowing for a greater possibility of reproduction.
