From initiation/authorization to completion/closure, a project goes through a whole lifecycle that includes defining the project objectives, planning the work to achieve those objectives, performing the actual work, monitoring and controlling the progress, and closing the project after receiving the product acceptance or after cancellation of the project.
product lifecycle management or project lifecycle management, the former is most common.

The phases of a project are:* Initiating * Planning * Executing * Monitor and Control * Close Out
Below are some issues that a Project Management Plan is expected to address. 1. Which project management processes will be used for this process, what the level of implementation for each of these processes will be, and what the inputs and tools and techniques for these processes are 2. How the changes will be monitored and controlled 3. What the needs and techniques for communication among the stakeholders are 4. How the project lifecycle looks, including the project phases if the project is a multiphase project 5. The lifecycle selected for the project at hand

There are a number of versions of the project lifecycle: 1. The Association for Project Management (APM) Project Lifecycle - Concept, Definition, Implementation and Handover/Closeout. 2. The Association for Project Management (APM) Extended Project Lifecycle - Concept, Definition, Implementation, Handover/Closeout, Operations and Termination. 3. PRINCE2 seven lifecycle phases - Starting up a project, Initiating a Project, Directing a Project, Controlling a Stage, Managing Product delivery, Managing Stage Boundaries and Closing a Project. 4. UK MoD CADMID Cycle - Concept, Assessment, Demonstration, Manufacture, In-Service, Disposal 5. General Project Management Lifecycle - Initiation, Planning or Development, Production or Execution, Monitoring and Controlling, Closing. They are all very similar in their phases, some just go further into the support and ultimate withdrawal and disposal of the project deliverables. They all have a structured approach based on best practice within individual industries and all can generally be tailored for individual project requirements. The benefit is that they provide a structure from which processes can be developed and people trained in their use. It also provides a common language across an organisation/industry and provides management with added confidence and consistent information.
Testing, in traditional Project Management, is always in the last phase. This is not usually the same in other methodologies (agile, etc...)
Product lifecycle that is usually industry specific. while the project lifecycle is sequence of process idintified by industry or organization. FYI, The project MANAGEMENT life cycle is made up of the 44 unique processes grouped by the 5 process groups - initiate, plan, execute, monitor and control and close out.
The Monitoring and Controlling processes take place throughout the project lifecycle The Monitoring and Controlling process group shows the most activity in the middle of the project lifecycle, when the Executing process group activities are approaching their peak

Project and Production are 2 totally different concepts, so I don't think it's reasonable to compare them together. The are 4 phases in the project lifecycle: * Initiating * Planning * Implementing * Closing
