The two phrases are used 'when the time had fully come' and 'in the fullness of time' essentially mean the same thing. It is referring to the right, appropriate, or fitting time for an event to occur, often in the light of specific predictive prophecy. Some whose presuppositional judgment will not permit them to believe that anything can be predicted ahead of time must therefore find other explanations such as Deutero-Isaiah for the prophecies contained therein, written in the time of the fulfillment and thus not being predictive at all. The problem with this theory occurs when actual evidence like the Dead Sea Scrolls with an ancient copy with all of Isaiah turns up, or the prophecies of Daniel clearly pointing to the Messiah coming and being 'cut off' i.e. killed in 36 or 37 AD.
Thus time itself does not really get full but what the terminology means is that when God has said the time is right, something will happen, especially if He has said it will. The time preceding the event is thus like a glass of water slowly filling up as the time rolls on until when the glass is full it has reached the time for the designated event to occur.
The New Testament thus particularly relates this terminology to Jesus Christ whose incarnation as the Messiah was previously foretold by the prophets. It seems also that there were some who recognized this such as Simeon and Anna and who were in a sense 'ready' for their Messiah. This is clear from the verses below.
----------------------- The final dispenstion of the gospel is known as the dispensation of the fulness of times. It is an age in which the Lord will "gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on the earth". Every key, power, and authority ever dispensed from heaven to men on earth, which is necessary for their eternal salvation will be restored at this time. All knowledge that has ever been revealed will in due course come to light in this final dispensation. 4But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, 10That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
