Well... do your stuff using symfony ... and pretend that you still work on that application ... and take some days off :) To be ready for the moment when they will say "Hey, we have a bug there..." (of course in the non sf version)... then you refactorize that area as well ... I have manage convince my boss that is better to that with symfony, because is much more maintainable and extensibile ... if they cannot afford a cool / secure / organized application ... then i might recommend you something (heard from others ): "Change your job, or change your job." or, of course the client ... Alecs
