When MTG uses a rule-defined keyword (e.g. `cast`), it only refers to that specific keyword and no other. `copy` is not `cast`.

No, it doesn't stop it. Teferi says:

> Each opponent can **cast** spells only any time they could cast a sorcery.

(emphasis mine)

But **copying** a spell is different from **casting** it:

> 706.10. To copy a spell, activated ability, or triggered ability means to put a copy of it onto the stack; a copy of a spell isn’t cast and a copy of an activated ability isn’t activated.

Therefore, Teferi doesn't affect the Epic ability.
