How long does it take for the Home Office to send back my passport?

Hi everyone,
Since Jan '18 I've been eligible to become a UK Citizen via Naturalisation through the EEA-Route Application.
I've passed the Life in the UK Test, English test, have my Indefinite Leave to Remain (Perm Residence Card) and I'm ready to send off my application.
However, whats prevented me from submitting before was the fact that I needed my passport to travel for work or to see family, hence why I'm wondering how long will the home office take until they send back my passport?
In the early days of April I hope to travel to visit family in SA which would require my passport, if I send it now would I get it back in time? It is quite urgent as I'm sure the Application forms may change format when we leave the EU around that time and I would have to restart everything.
If there's no such possible case, would I be able to contact the Home Office or my local MP to maybe help and how? That would be very useful, cheers.
