IMO, the 'Phantom Menace' is the Trade Federation.  Their attack on Naboo was
just a ploy so Palpatine could become Chancelor(?).  After the Trade
Federation's attack is stopped, most people (except Mace and Yoda) think
everything is alright, and things will go back to normal.

Menace the Trade Feds might be, but phantoms they are not.  Out in the open,
they are. (1)

And the attack was a ploy on Palpatines part, for sure.  And at the very end,
all seems well with the Republic, except for the phantom menace of the Sith,
in the person of Palpatine.

1. I seem to be using Yoda-speak.

Ah, but something out in the open can still be a 'phantom'.  A phantom is
'something existing in perception only', and the Sith are a very real menace.
The Naboo thought the Trade Federation was the threat to them and the republic,
so the menace posed by the Trade Feds only existed in their perception, as it
was just a ploy by Palpatine.
