Perhaps something like helping widen the 403 overpass WB at the 407 in Mississauga would be useful as that is made much more expensive work by the existence of the 407 interchange, or maybe building the flyovers at the 403/QEW in Oakville to allow for a full tolled bypass of southern Halton Region for QEW traffic.

The 407 had a study a few years ago to construct the missing ramps at both Ninth Line and Donald Cousins in addition to constructing traffic signals at the ramp terminals at York/Durham Line. I'm not sure what the construction timeline on either of those projects would be.
From what I understand, either the MTO or IO paid to construct the interchange at Whites Road. Though I don't have more specific information about that project aside from that.
The westbound ramp carrying the 403 through the Mississauga interchange is going to be an issue over the long term. It's due for a minor rehab (waterproof the deck, replace the expansion joints etc.), but it's a pretty narrow overpass and there is too much traffic to shut down a lane for a long term construction project. Apparently they looked at widening it, but it's either too difficult or too expensive to widen such a long post-tensioned bridge. So I don't know what they will end up doing there for the long term.
But those would definitely be things the 407 could pay for for a speed limit increase.
