Let $M$  be  a complete Riemannian manifold embedded in an Euclidean space (equipped with Euclidean induced metric). The main examples I'm considering are spheres, Stiefel manifold, etc. 

What I'm trying to do is to conduct a certain error analysis for the projectional vector transport. Let's say $\mathbb{S}^{d}\subset\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$ be the $d$-dimensional unit sphere as an example here. Given $p\in\mathbb{S}^{d}$ and $\xi\in T_{p}\mathbb{S}^{d}$, suppose we use the projectional retraction (simply project the vector $p+\xi$ onto $\mathbb{S}^{d}$. For the case of Stiefel manifold, see [1]) and obtain a point $q=\text{retr}_{p}(\xi)=\frac{p+\xi}{\|p+\xi\|}\in\mathbb{S}^{d}$.

Now I'm considering the ways to transport vector $\xi$ from $T_p \mathbb{S}^{d}$ to $T_q \mathbb{S}^{d}$. Projectional vector transport (to project the vector $\xi$ onto the tangent space of $q$) yields $\eta=\xi-\langle\xi, q\rangle q\in T_q \mathbb{S}^{d}$. Another way to obtain a transported vector is to parallel transport $\xi$ onto $T_q \mathbb{S}^{d}$, yielding $P_{p\rightarrow q}\xi\in T_{q}\mathbb{S}^{d}$ (I omitted the detail here, basically it is of the same direction as $\eta$ and the length is the same as $\|\xi\|$, see [2] Chap 5).

Now a simple calculation shows that
$$
\|P_{p\rightarrow q}\xi - \eta\|\leq \|\xi\| d(p,q)
$$
where the left-hand side is the error between the parallel transported vector and the projected vector-transported vector (both are in $T_q \mathbb{S}^{d}$), and the right-hand side are the length of the vector $\xi$ and the geodesic distance from $p$ to $q$. I'm looking for a similar generalization for other manifolds mentioned in [1], particularly, Stiefel manifold.

I understand that this might just be a simple coincidence for the sphere, and for general matrix manifold this bound might not be true. In particular, there is not closed form solution for a parallel transport on Sitefel manifold and this analysis might be hard to conduct. Any help or reference are appreciated.
