If you turn the engine over by hand does the belt tighten up?

It's normal for the engine at rest to have some slight slack in the belt once it sat for a while but not so much that it seem like it would come off the sprockets.

Setting the belt tension is one of the critical adjustments, it can shift if you didn't get it right or didn't tighten down the tensioner pulley to spec.

The belt will go loose after sitting for awhile. Like mentioned above turn the engine over by hand and it should tighten right up. If it doesn't then you have a problem.
