There are no new runways planned for EWR - there is no space for them. Ditto for the terminals.
Short of condemning the land on the west side of the airport (basically all US1-9) or sending the Turnpike and its service roads into a tunnel, there is nothing that can be done at EWR to build more runways or alleviate delays except the FAA or PA forcing all airlines to either reduce their flight schedules or spread traffic more evenly.
