Features, Requirmements, Defects, and Enhancements

Features represent what a product can do.
A feature is composed of a series of requirements.
A defect can be associated with a feature.
An enhancement can be proposed for a feature, but it is not a requirment.
An enhancement can become a requirement (or a requirement can be created from an enhancement request.)

A feature is implemented by a series of tasks.

A defect is not an impediment, but an impediment to feature approval can be tied to a defect.
Approval is a task that indicates a feature is complete (or at least acceptable in this iteration.)
