For the moon to get back to exactly the right phase, it takes a little longer than its sidereal orbit period, it takes 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes in total from full moon to the next full moon. This is known as the synodic period. It takes a little longer to go from phase to phase due to the earths progression around the sun in that time.
