The present perfect subjunctive is formed using the formula below:
present subjunctive conjugation of haber + the past participle = present perfect subjunctive
The table below shows the present subjunctive conjugation of the helping verb haber together with the past participle of hablar (to speak) - hablado.
yo
haya hablado
tú
hayas hablado
Ud./él/ella
haya hablado
nosotros (as)
hayamos hablado
vosotros (as)
hayáis hablado
Uds./ellos/ ellas

Note that there are two possible English translations for each example below.
haya hablado - I spoke (or) I have spoken
hayas hablado - you spoke (or) you have spoken
hayamos hablado - we spoke (or) we have spoken
The present perfect subjunctive is used in the same types of clauses as the present subjunctive, and normally is used: to indicate the action as completed with governing verbs in the present or future tense or command forms. Let's look at some example sentences with other regular verbs:
Tal vez te hayas equivocado.
Perhaps you have made a mistake.
