In big projects such as airports, stadiums and skyscrapers, an architect is needed in both preliminary design and advanced design stages (advanced construction documents) or only in preliminary design?

Architects are used throughout the design process.
Predesign (if hired to do so - this is an additional fee)
Conceptual Design (if hired to do so - this is an additional fee)
Schematic Design (part of base contract)
Design Development (part of base contract)
Construction Documents (part of base contract)
Construction Administration (part of base contract but can be excluded by owner)

And what is the role of the architect in design development and construction documents phases, if the design has already been created in previous phases?

Don't look at the names of each phase, it would give away the surprise.

don't let other architects fool you!
An architect is only really needed at the very end to provide permit drawings to the government. A couple sheets of paper is usually enough but architects often gouge the owners with huge fees and then justify those fees with big pieces of paper.

Everyone knows the bigger the piece of paper the bigger the fee!

Pffft - I just email out my stamp electronically to clients to sign their own drawings. Way less work than physically stamping drawings.

Do you charge per square inch of drawing sheets? :)

An architect is needed after Heatherwick, Kanye, or Charlie Munger is done with their scribbles.

I gave the OP a real answer because of his age. The fact that he / she isn't willing to spend five minutes googling " what responsibilities dose an architect have in X phase of a project" is just lazy.
