This is how some/most Shells behave, anything starting with '-' is considered as an option to the command being run (the same behaviour happens with grep and rm ...etc). To use that command line you have to use '--' to mark the end of the option names:
kwriteconfig5 --file $HOME/.config/plasmarc --group PlasmaToolTips --key Delay -- "-1"
