Etymology

The term 'phasing' derives from the word 'phase,' which has roots in the Greek word 'phasis,' meaning 'appearance' or 'stage.' The concept of phases as distinct periods or steps has been used across various disciplines, including science, project management, and the arts. The increased use of structured project management methodologies throughout the 20th century popularized the term, with its application in construction, information technology, and change management. The systematic breakdown associated with phasing allows for improved control and evaluation at different stages of a project, leading to its widespread adoption in modern project management practices.
