Phase's synonyms
stage
A distinct period or step in a process or development.

period

Example: The period of training will last for six months.
Note: Unlike 'phase,' 'period' typically refers to a segment of time rather than a specific step in a process.
step

Example: Completing this step is crucial before moving on to the next.
Note: Similar to 'stage,' 'step' refers to a specific action or process within a larger sequence, but it may not necessarily denote a distinct period.
