We have the max-cltv-expiry option for lnd (

to_self_delay value for the channel. This seems to be a global value for all channels that are opened. As the fee markets get more competitive, we may need more time to get closing transactions confirmed cheaply. We shouldn't have to restart lnd to change this. Also, we may want to set the time_lock_delta to higher values on certain channels and on those channels we will need an even higher to_self_delay value than normal channels to work properly.
An example of a channel that has a higher time_lock_delta value from a normal channel is if that channel is used for long term HOLD invoices. We may want to offer longer time_lock_delta values to allow routing payments for invoices that define a high cltv_expiry but charge a higher fee on those channels for agreeing to lock up funds for a longer period of time.
Once lightning/bolts#1117 gets complete, would also like the ability to update to_self_delay with UpdateChannelPolicy since we can update time_lock_delta with UpdateChannelPolicy.
