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 ?"
A lunar month is about 29.5 days long. Each moon phase, such as the new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter, lasts for about 7-8 days.
The length of each moon phase varies, but on average, each phase lasts about 3.5 days. The complete lunar cycle, from one new moon to the next, is about 29.5 days.
Last quarter moon comes after the full moon
The length of each phase of the moon (new moon, first quarter, full moon, last quarter) is about 7 days. However, the exact duration can vary slightly due to the moon's orbital path and speed.
Out of the 8 phases that include: Waxing Gibbous, Waxing Crescent, Waning Gibbous and Waning Crescent. Each phase lasts 3 (Gibbous last 4 days) to (Crescents last 3 days) Out of the 4 general: Full, Half, Last and New it's 7 days

29.53 days after the last one.
New moon.
The last quarter of the Moon occurs when half of the side we see from Earth is illuminated. This phase happens after the waning gibbous phase and before the new moon phase in the lunar cycle.
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.
As of February 5th, 2010, the moon will enter the Last Quarter, and will enter the New Moon phase as of February 14th. So on February 13th, the moon will still be in the Last Quarter phase.
