Definition
阶段 (jiē duàn) refers to a distinct stage or phase within a process or development, often implying a specific step or period with a clear boundary. It differs from 时期 (shí qī), which describes a longer, more indefinite period of time. 阶段 is more concrete and segmented, often used with 个 as a measure word.
