PM who have approved

Is the phrase correct?

I think it should be "PM who has approved" (PM: Project Manager). Am I wrong?

Neither of those is a complete sentence. Please give a just a bit more context so we can help. But I'll answer stochastically: you're right, if it's one PM (singular), then it should be has. – F'x Mar 4 '11 at 11:06

Both might be ok depending on what PM means.

The Prime Minister who has approved

The Project Managers who have approved

+1 correct - though it's worth noting that "Project Managers" would usually be abbreviated to "PMs". But the same argument also applies because it could refer to a group such as "Product Marketing" :-) – psmears Mar 4 '11 at 11:51
