Without going through all the sunlight tables I can tell you that on average the amount of official day light changes from about 2 to 3 minutes per day.

The amount of daylight gradually changes from day to day .. If I had to choose one day where it changes the most it would have to be when the clocks get changed .. thats a whole hour less or more thats not gradually changed.
I automatically thought of the equinoxes and solstices but the day after these days the amount of sunlight is almost the same as it was. There really is no rapid changes.

It depends on where you are! At the poles, the length of the day changes from zero to 24 hours on the spring equinox (in March at the north pole) and from 24 hours to zero on the autumn equinox (in September at the north pole).
For most of us here in the temperate latitudes, the length of the day increases or decreases by about five to six minutes per day around the equinoxes. (Half of the change in the morning and half in the evening.) The days of greatest change are always close to the equinoxes (other factors such as the earth's not-quite-circular orbit enter the equation, else the days of greatest change would always fall exactly on the equinoxes.)
At the equator, all days have 12 hours of daylight.
