>>>  If the complete moon cycle is 28 days, and a queen needs 16 days from 
egg to emergence, it would seem we should be grafting during the waning 
moon phase in order to emerge during the waxing phase.

You would want to graft no earlier than fourteen (14) days before the new moon.   Eighteen days before the new moon and your queen would emerge during the last stages of a waning moon.
