The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) has several limitations, including its rigidity in following a linear process, which can hinder adaptability to changing requirements. It often assumes that all requirements can be gathered upfront, which may not reflect the dynamic nature of software development. Additionally, SDLC can lead to lengthy development times and delayed feedback, as testing typically occurs later in the process. Finally, it may not adequately address the complexities of modern agile environments where iterative development and continuous integration are essential.
time consuming, cost increasing,large number of information nessary to collected
SDLC has both verification and validation activities where as STLC has only validation activity. Simply STLC is a part of SDLC

SDLC refers to a stage all systems naturally undergo, a methodology refers to an approach invented by humans to manage the events naturally occurring in the SDLC
There are usually two design stages in SDLC. They are:High-level Design &Low-level Design

See the graph in the related link. It clearly separates out the differences between PDLC and SDLC.
The reason why you might not find differences in the sdlc and rad is because RAD is a more sped-up version of the SDLC. RAD is typically used in small to medium size projects, while the SDLC is generally used for large projects. Another difference is that in the SDLC, one can control the scope creep of the project, whereas that is very limited when one implements RAD because you give it up for faster implementation times. In RAD you have alot of feedback from the user to refine the program more to the aspects of the user, whereas you dont get the same user input in the SDLC. This feedback loop is another reason that RAD is sometimes chosen over the SDLC
