Out of curiosity, what do Muslims do when they (due to work) they cannot complete their prayer at the appoint time. For instance, imagine you're a traffic cop working the 4AM to 8AM shift. When dawn hits at 6AM, you cannot stop to pray. Does he "make up for it" by praying as soon as possible, e.g. at 8AM? Wait until the next prayer cycle?

Also, The prayer cycles have time slots to them. So Fajr (i.e. the Dawn prayer) in most parts of the world would have a 2 hour window.
Finding 3-5 mins within the 2 hours is quite doable.
The tricky one (especially in northern climates) would be Maghrib (i.e. the evening prayer) since it may have a 30-40 minute window max. Finding 7-10 minutes for Maghrib is a bit trickier since you are dealing with such a small window.
He would make it up asap. That being said:
Fajr (the Dawn prayer) would take 3-5 minutes maximum if executed properly (it is the shortest prayer). So you take a "washroom break", perform ritual ablution (i.e. "wudhu") and then pray. Should be doable for most professions.
