"converting from a standard uniform distribution to a Gaussian distribution" as you described does not make any sense at all. If you replace an initial assumption of a degenerate distribution with a Gaussian, as you seem to be doing, you replace a no-uncertainty (stdev=0) assumption with some uncertainty (so the uncertainty blow-up is infinite), but it doesn't affect point estimates such as the mean or median, unless you make separate assumptions about that. There is nothing in your story that leads to multiplying some initial time estimate by sqrt(pi). The only tenuous connection with sqrt(pi) in the whole story is that the Gaussian integral happens to be sqrt(pi). There are some deep mathematical reasons for that, which has to do with polar coordinates transformations. But it has nothing to do with adjusting uncertainties or best estimates.
