Deletes a project phase using soft delete (marked as deleted but not permanently removed).

**Important considerations:**
- The phase will no longer appear in lists or be available for new opportunities
- Existing opportunities using this phase will retain their reference
- Deleted phases can be restored using the restore defaults endpoint

**Note:** This operation requires workspace settings management permission. Ensure you have alternative phases available before deleting commonly used ones.
