It depends upon type of project eg. in a construction project you have design/engineering, procurement & site mobilization, construction and testing phase. IT projects may defer in engineering, development, testing etc..Sometime we can do each phase as a separate project within the organisation.
PMBOK talks only general things about project life cycle not about type of phases. The phases are generally the best practices followed by industry to complete the project.

In my company we have designed a project life cycle generally based on the framework which is provided by the PMBoK Guide.
This life cycle has several phases and each of our projects has stick to it in general, but based on the projects size, complexity and some other parameters the designated project manager tailors this life cycle to his specific project.
If there is a PMS (Project Management System) existing in the organization developed by PMO or any other organizational entity, it may provide general or specific guidelines for phasing the various projects in the organization. In case, there is no such guidance available from within the organization, I may seek industry trends to guide me develop phases for my project. In absence of any support for my specific project, I will, as a PM, endeavor to create my own phases based on the technical and administrative control I want to exercise on my project, naming them such that they are specific to the work of each phase.

Hehe Markus - it is an obsession. I know you are kidding and you made me laugh
I had a discussion on the charter - that led to another discussion that led to this. Which is our effort to try to clarify points to those who misunderstand the PMBOK. Saving Changes...
