A full cycle takes 28 plus (about a half day) days.

The average among several cycles of lunar phases is 14.77 days.

28 days. That is how many days there are in the Islamic calendar, which is based on the phases of the moon.
An entire cycle is about 29 1/2 days, on average. The "phases" are more like points in time, when the Moon shows a certain shape.
On average, it takes about 14.77 days for the Moon to transition from a full moon to a new moon. This period is known as the synodic month and represents the complete cycle of the Moon's phases as seen from Earth.
On average 29.53 days
The time between each principal moon phase is roughly a week. Specifically, from New Moon to First Quarter Moon is about 7 days, from First Quarter to Full Moon is another 7 days, from Full Moon to Last Quarter Moon is approximately 7 days, and from Last Quarter back to New Moon is around 7 days as well.
The New Moon, First Quarter, Full Moon, and Third Quarter are moments in time, with no duration. The Waxing and Waning Crescents, and the Waxing and Waning Gibbous phases, each last roughly a week. There is no "time between" phases. As soon as one ends, another one begins immediately.
The four main phases of the moon—new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter—each occur approximately 7.4 days apart. The entire lunar cycle, lasting about 29.5 days, is divided into these phases: the new moon to the first quarter takes about 7.4 days, the first quarter to the full moon another 7.4 days, the full moon to the last quarter approximately 7.4 days, and the last quarter back to the new moon also about 7.4 days.
The complete cycle of moon phases repeats every 29.53 days.
