But when i tried to perform phonon calculation, it converged to meaningless figures(containing a lot of minus ones) that are not comparable to the LDA. The structure is relatively relaxed due to the forces and stresses(that should be reasonable, as I have used U_Progection_type=atomic)

AFAIK there is no support for LDA+U in the phonon code.
