I don't think you should be doing this with GREP Styles. GREP Styles are good for applying formatting (character styles) to a word or a sentence, not to a whole paragraph.

Does this text frame have 3 paragraphs in it? If so, I think it would be better to assign 3 paragraph styles. For example: entry_description, options, durations. You can set the "Next Style" for entry-description to options, and the Next Style for options to durations. Then make an object style (in the Object Styles panel) that applies the entry_description paragraph style AND turn on the "Apply Next Style" checkbox. Then, when you apply the object style, it will automatically apply all three paragraph styles for you.
