I think he means by consolidating phases, the same contractor may be used which would reduce the overall cost.
For example, Phase 1 of Project XYZ may cost $450,000, with a 2 year break in work before Phase 2 which costs a separate $450,000. If Phase 1 and 2 were the same phase, the reduced cost from NOT stopping and starting work may bring the total bid to $800,000. A $100,000 savings over bidding them separately multiple years apart.
