You have to finalise the file on Trados, and you will automatically get a sdlxliff file, along with the original file format.
If the client sent you a project package, you have to create a return package.
What version of Trados Studio are you using?
You can find a short video here (Trados Studio 2019) to guide you:

If you have always returned a .docx file to your client, I'm sure you know how to use the "Finalize" option, otherwise you couldn't return files in the original format (in this case Word).
This will work in many recent versions, including version 2017:
1. Make a copy of your source file.
2. Go to "File" and "Translate Single Document".
3. Open the copy created in step 1. for translating.
4. Go to "File" and click on "Save Target As".

Note: Don't forget

To make sure it is completely translated, you can close Trados and then double-click the newly generated sdlxliff file. Trados will launch again with that file opened.
