Phaser/Delay Pedal? Does this exist?

That’s enough of an odd-duck request that I’m not surprised you can’t find one. Any particular reason you need them in a single pedal?

It's more of a space issue than anything. I have a small board and it's hard to keep both a phaser and delay on it... but when I don't have one, I miss the other. Both are at the end of the chain, so it would make sense to have them together. Plus, Phaser into delay sounds pretty great. I'm surprised that there aren't a few versions out there. Keeley has a Pink Floyd pedal, but it has a ton of other stuff I'm not going to use.
It would probably be the smallest multi you can fit. As is the custom of my people, I would say go ZOIA if you have the space.

I really have room for one regular sized pedal right now. I have a Way Huge Aquapuss Smalls that fits perfectly in that slot.
Of course, I can rearrange things and cut another pedal out... but I've been trying to find a way to have a two in one. Maybe even a mini-carbon copy/mini-phase 90 is the way.

A lot of “tape” delays do modulation, more chorus or flanger than phaser in my experience but I’m interested to see what the hive says.
How about a Zoom MS-60B/70-CDR/100BT? Any of these three take up the size of a Boss pedal and have 100 presets. Tons of delays and phasers and you can have up to 6 effects per preset. I have one on my mini board and it’s been great for years! And has a great tuner. Plus a TON of other effects.
Pigtronix has mini versions of each, but not that particular combination. I imagine they’d be fairly interesting versions. I have the big envelope-phaser, which I really like.
On my board, I use MXR Phase 95 into MXR Carbon Copy Mini. They (subjectively) sound great together, and don't take much space.
A multi fx box like the Zoia is going to be a solid option.
Meris Polymoon is a delay with a phaser. I’m not familiar enough to say how easy it is to use the phaser function alone, but it does seem worth investigating.

One of my favorite combinations. Not many single pedals can do this so you would need to consider mult-mode pedals (like the Meris Polymoon previously mentioned) or a multi-fx unit if you want something in a single pedal.
The [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] delay has the Sweeper engine which combines a delay with a low pass filter, not exactly a phaser but very phase like. Applies the LFO to the delay repeats only.
The Alexander Luminous phaser includes a phase delay engine. Also applies the phaser to the delay repeats only.

Looks like a Fuzzrocious Grey Stacey with a custom paint job.
One of the Zoom single pedal form multiFX would probably be ideal. It can do that and much more.

How crucial are either of the efects to your sound? That is, how often do you use one or the other? If it’s just for a song or two, and the effect doesn’t have to be pronounced, check into Hotone’s micro boxes…
The light blue one(“Eko”)is a standard delay, while the green above it(“TapeEko”)has what would be more analog/low-fi tones, as you might expect. Don’t be misled by the size; while everything in the series isn’t fantastic, just like with the Mooer, etc. stuff, some are just enough to get by, and some are very respectable, even amazing, for what they do. As always, check the online demos.

Not to derail but it’s a OCD that was placed accidentally in a Grey Stache enclosure. Controls for Volume, Tone, Gain (Where it’s says M) and Blend. Second switch is a killswitch and has a toggle for gate/boost.
As for the Zoom series mentioned here are the phase offerings:
And here are the delay options (including a phase/delay that applies phase to only the phase signal)

The MXR Carbon Copy has a “MOD” button that was built to add some of the phase/chorus-type flavor you’re describing. It is a great little pedal, simple, and could possibly work for your needs.
From the MXR product team: “the mod switch adds some modulation to the delay time to get it to vibrato slightly so you get a nice chorusing sound with the delay. the internal trimpots control the width of that modulation (how wide the pitch bending is) and the speed of the pitch bending.”
