I am currently studying for my MSc in Public Health. I am at the point where I am required to do my research paper. Being new to thematic analysis and writing research papers etc, how much time (roughly)should a 'newby' take to complete such a task?

Thank you very much for the detailed information and I would like to express my gratitude. I am now clear about the differences between the literature review and the research paper. Overall, the information about three steps for the research paper is very helpful for me as I am also currently working on the Capstone Research Project. Thank you.
