"Have come to" means to result in something or make a decision. "Have" is part of the present perfect tense, but "come to" can be used in other tenses too. It's usually used at the end of something or when you reach the result of something. Ex: We've come to the conclusion that Anne is right about this. Ex: I'm confident that we have a good chance of winning the elections as they come to an end. Ex: The research has come to be useful.
