Tom, The phases are defined by the UEFI Platform Initialization Specification [1] (PI Spec). Basically the UEFI Specification defines how to write EFI OS Loaders and Option ROMs and EFI is just defined in the context of how EFI services are passed into applications or drivers. The UEFI Platform Initialization Specification is how to write modular bits of the firmware that interoperate. So all PI systems produce UEFI, but not all UEFI systems are built out of PI. There are also some schemes that use the early parts of PI, but not all of it but this is confusing enough without talking about that.
