One sets the bounds of the project, vs the bounds of the team. Team charters are less common, but should not be dismissed. I have had significant push back in the past over creating a team charter. It left others feeling vulnerable, threatened, and did not want to have written expectations (signed) to have to fulfill.

The project charter defines the project and is an agreement between sponsor and project manager. There is always a project charter, even if it is not in writing.
A team charter defines how a team works together, it is part of the team culture. It is an commitment of each team member to the others. I found it works well jf the team charter is developed by the team themselves.

Tamer -

The first is a formal, signed off document whereas the latter is usually not signed off, but is developed and accepted by all team members. I prefer the term "team working agreements" as that focuses more on what the artifact represents.
