From what I've read what they apparently planned was for the Dairangers to either be an ancient Power Ranger team from Maya's home planet or the Magna Defender's team and it was scrapped because of possible continuity conflicts with the White Ranger in MMPR.

I wouldn't give any credence to the "Conflicts with Tommy White" theory because the similarities aren't anymore noticeable than the differences MMPR was remarkably good at. Even minor conflicts could be ret-conned with ease. Another idea is that they couldn't figure how to weave them into Lost Galaxy and the health concerns of Valerie Vernon and her re-cast may have changed some original intentions, which is understandable of course. Another possibility is what August Ragone said during Shout's Dairanger Marathon and how imports/knock-offs of Dairangers in the U.S. might have influenced the decision to keep the core five away from MMPR. I'll leave others to decide that one. Personally, I think they should revisit this. I've often wondered what a PR mini-series exploring the unanswered questions would be like. The minimal information we received from Super Megaforce about Dairanger does not outright conflict with any of the earlier Lost Galaxy plans.
