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.
It takes the moon 29 days 12 hours and 44 minutes to complete all its phases.
The moon completes an entire cycle of all of its phases in 29.53 days.
One complete cycle of the moon's phases, from new moon to full moon and back to new moon, takes about 29.5 days. This period is known as a lunar cycle or a synodic month.
The cycle of the moon's phases runs 29.53 days.
It takes about 27 days for the moon to return to it's same position with respect to the Earth, however since the Earth also orbits the sun the moon has to travel around the Earth for about 29 days for it to complete one lunar month.
It takes about 28-30 days.
It takes a full month to see all phases of the moon, then it begins again.

the moon takes 28 days to complete all of it's phases and there are 8 phases so each phase lasts for 3.5 days
The moon takes about 29.5 days to go through a complete cycle of phases, known as a synodic month. This cycle includes all the phases from new moon to full moon and back to new moon again.
