"Missing delimiter" would be clearer.  Try

/var/www/html ls -ld *.*(u:apache:)

pws

I think, you should read "name" as "username". The colon defines the delimiter, hence the closing delimiter is missing:

   $ ls -ld *.*(u:apache:)

should word. Or alternatively

   $ ls -ld *.*(u+apache+)

as the delimiter can be any of those:
-  :  /  %  +


Greets,
Manuel.
