I don't think there's anything in apache which would allow limited access by time. We have the situation on one of our web servers when we don't allow access to users as the system is gathering a large amount of data via FTP and then inserting it into an SQL database which is used by the web server.
To do this we simply use cron to stop and start the httpd daemon at the required times. In our case, the script file to stop the httpd daemon also triggers the FTP process, but the restart is done via another crontab entry having allowed plenty of time for the FTP routines to complete.
