What would you gain from such limitation?
What about some policies take time to get full effects (for example production bonus will be 5% per turn up to 50% after 10 turns - same with reduced upgrade cost)?

The same as what your suggestion does. Making the choices done for policy cards more important and "abuse" of switching forth and back less tempting. Though your suggestion is more subtile. But I think that anarchy system should be more present in the game too.
I don't miss anarchy much. Wonders and traits that allowed me to escape it were desirable in all my civ games since the original. As things are it's very easy to miscalculate when you need a policy. Right now the price for a mistake is double the price or a few lost turns (depends on my culture output). I think the current system rewards expertise but is tolerant to mistakes. But if people want a more limiting, less forgiving system i'd prefer less anarchy.
I do appreciate that with the Policy Cards, we're able to debate about a working system. Whether we agree with the amount and/or kinds of cards and the frequency of changing them, the whole system works throughout the whole game and I think does add a good layer of strategy.
One annoyance I forgot to mention: maybe it's just my old computer, but the drag-and-drop method of changing cards often doesn't work on first attempt. The card doesn't get picked up or I think I'm dropping it in the right place but it goes back to the selection side. Of course, this is a UI problem, not an issue with the system design.

It's great but I do think there are plenty of balance issues with the strength of the cards - there are a lot that I just never use. Personally I find this way less tedious than anarchy and much more fun. It can get mildly annoying switching cards or missing the window but I still prefer the flexibility of having the option to do so more often than not. I think the system will get better over time and it would be nice to see them add some new cards with the next update or at least tweak some of the existing ones to justify their existence.
Some cards seems useless. Not enough Diplo cards. And what about the GP purple cards. I never use them, I find that the +2 GPP/turn is not enough even early game, just run a project instead if you need GPP !?
I use the Great Prophet card. Early in the game I have better things to do than run projects and on lower difficulties (which is what I play) it will usually be enough to get me a religion.
Then for most of the game will get things through districts and late in the game may faith buy if there is something particularly good.
One of the greatest flaws is how easy it is to generate money. If Money would be harder to get, more competition between cards would emerge. And purple cards would be buffed a bit as well. Buying GP is way too easy.
