Building the first Death Star took twenty solid years. The second one was operational like three years later and eight times as large. There's no way they weren't working on the second one before they finished the first. And we know they can move between star systems.

There's a system somewhere with a ring of two thousand of them at various stages of assembly. Most of them mostly operational. The line has been started and stopped at various times.

In the climax of the film, the Rebels' plan is to reprogram each of them to fire on the previous one in turn. Like a chain reaction. Obviously our heroes are stuck on one of them and have to get off it before it gets exploded, etc.

New theory: the Death Star was a project stuck in development hell for thousands of years, each version being shut down at various points in construction as it was deemed too big, too expensive, not a good investment, or "evil". This happened many times. Few were ever "restarted"
