The amount of time that elapses between each of the four principal phases of the moon is 29.5 days. The phases are roughly equal to each other.
The moon takes ~28 days (27.3 specifically) to move through all it's 8 phases, meaning it spends about three and a half days in each phase.
28 days. That is how many days there are in the Islamic calendar, which is based on the phases of the moon.
The moon has four main phases. Every phase of moon is recurring every 27 1/2 days.
The complete cycle of phases ... the moon's appearance ... repeats every 29.53 days.
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

27.531 days, on the average.
Lunar phases lasts about 3 1/2 days. The moon doesn't change phases fast enough to change on a nightly basis. It takes several days.
The complete cycle of the moon's phases runs 29.53 days. How long each phase lasts depends on how many different shapes you have names for. That's a lot like asking "What's the length of each section of a 1-foot string ?"
The total cycle - for example, from one full moon to the next - is 29.5 days. So, each quarter cycle - from one of the traditional phases to the next - would be a little more than 7 days, on average.
