"Perimeter" is the sum of the lengths of all of the sides of a two dimensional shape.

"Circumference" is the full length of a circular curve.

The key difference here is that a circle does not have sides. If it did, there would be an infinite number of them with zero length, which makes no sense. In that way, a perimeter and a circumference are fundamentally different.
