I want to say closure is the last step, but I keep second-guessing myself about whether review might come after coordination.

The closure stage makes the most sense to me as the final step in the project lifecycle. I'm fairly confident that's the right answer.

Okay, let me think this through. The project lifecycle has several key stages, and I'm pretty sure the closure stage comes at the end. I'll mark that as my answer for now.
