How do F1 teams improve engines?

Formula 1 teams are usually restricted in how much they can develop their engines during a season. However, special 'development tokens' can be granted, as Ferrari received, to help teams catch up if they're significantly behind. This allows them to introduce modified components, like the new six-cylinder design mentioned, to boost performance and competitiveness.
