Well, AFAICT during routing should be the right time. See below.

At various points inside zmailer the address may have several diferent
forms, e.g. "((a b c d))". Those are all internal matters. The canonical
address (the one that's shown to the world in to/cc/from) is what should
be used in received too, unless there is a clear reason to use a different
address.
Put simply: The way I see my address in e.g. "From" is the same way I
should see it in "Received".

Delivered-to sounds like different to me. If it's used by the transports
for string comparison, then the transport is the one that knows what
string should be put there.
I have to say, though, that meddling with header fields in the transports
sounds rather hacky.
