The first quarter moon occurs after 1/4 of the complete cycle of phases has passed.

So the time remaining until the next new moon is 3/4 of the cycle.

The full cycle of phases repeats with a period of 29.53 days.

3/4 of it = 22.15 days . . . pretty close to 3 weeks plus a day

That's 1/2 of a full cycle of phases.

The full cycle is 29.53 days, so New Moon to Full Moon is 14.77 days (rounded)

From New Moon to New Moon takes about 29.5 days. The waning crescent phase is the last quarter of the moon cycle which makes it from the 21st to the 29th day of the cycle.
