Mathematica cannot compute the first moment of the projection, even for $\sigma=1$:

(In fact, by rescaling, the value of $\sigma>0$ does not matter here.)

Therefore, it is very unlikely that a closed-form expression for this moment exists.


As for approximations, those will depend on whether $\|\mu\|/\sigma$ is large or small.
