Maven build in Jenkins failing with unknown lfiecycle phase error

Question

We are using gerrit trigger to build maven based projects in Jenkins.

My build goal is "clean install -e" and then Dmaven.test.skip=true in properties tab.

Command specified in the jenkins job's maven build section

clean install -e with this property -Dmaven.test.skip=true

Snapshopt of my build section

Strangely the build has started failing for a reverted commit with unknown lifecycle phase "for" error. But there is no "for" build phase is mentioned in the build configuration. It was passing before this reverted commit.

Console output

Please remove the clean install -e and place it as test and let me know
