Thought I will share my experience as I was not in town when my oath was scheduled. I had tried to find out through immigration forums if it is ok to miss an Oath ceremony due to travel or any other reasons. Figured out, it was not a big deal. I had written a letter explaining I wouldn't be able to attend oath on my scheduled date via Certified mail and return receipt. In spite of this, I never received any confirmation of delivery or receipt. Post office said that USCIS get mails in bulk and it's not possible for them to sign proof of delivery. So I don't even know if they read my letter.
As per USCIS, you can miss 1 oath date without any major issues. It will be rescheduled by them automatically. You will get a letter stating you missed your oath on "xyz" date and that they will reschedule it. However, missing 2nd time can lead to abandonment of your application and you would need to re-apply your N400.
Total delay caused due to rescheduling: 2 months (I guess it is long as mine is a name change otherwise, it would have been less than a month).
I hope it helps others.
