Relative adverb ??
1) Tomorrow is the day when I've been waiting for (X)
2) Tomorrow is the day which/that I've been waiting for (OK)
3) Tomorrow is the day for which I've been waiting (OK)
4) Tomorrow is the day when I've been waiting (???)

Top answer
No, (4) is not possible. (3) seems a bit ungainly to me. It may be partly because of the combination of the formal pattern "for which" and the informal contraction "I've".
