If the playoff final were to be played on the weekend of 27 June, and the league restarted with the games restarting using the same fixture template as it stood when games were cancelled with effect from 14 March, then the season would need to restart on the weekend of 11 April.
The above structure includes playing only three games in a four week period (the two playoff semi finals and the final). These could clearly be squeezed into a smaller window (albeit a lot of pressure would be on the teams reaching the final in terms of selling tickets and travel logistics / demands).
However the semi finals could feasibly played on the 12/13 and 17/18 June.
Therefore the final match of the normal season could take place on either 6/7 June.
With nine rounds of matches needing to be played up to and including 6/7 June and working on the premise of Saturday / Wednesday / Saturday the latest the Championship could restart would be the weekend of 8 / 9 / 10 May.
I wouldn’t underestimate the desire of the Clubs, TV, Sponsors and the EFL to finish this season and with over seven weeks until 8 / 9 / 10 May it is clearly workable if they work on self isolation of the players, staff, officials, etc.
