Moving house and taking the phone number with him is very unlikely to
involve any physical work at the exchange - the line will just be
renumbered electronically on the computer.

However the broadband service has to be physically disconnected from the
old line and connected to the new, which is why change of location is
usually considered to be equivalent to a new install.

14 days is probably worst case, as others have said.
