Error occurred in deployment step 'Activate Features': The field with Id {GUID} defined in feature {GUID} was found in the current site collection or in a subsite.
When I googled I found very good solution from Sandeep Snahta Blog.

As suggested in this blog, there is two option to overcome this error;
Close VS2010 and restart again.
Or
Kill VSSHost4 Process either through Task Manager or Via Power Shell Command
stop-process -processname vssphost4 -force
