It might be a problem with the "numwidth". You might want to take a look at the documentation of the "tocloft" package ("$ texdoc tocloft" in terminal), where the parameters of the layout for toc (lof, lot) are explained.

You could try with "\makeatletter \renewcommand etc" or use the package tocloft

If you don't mind that the text in the toc may not be aligned, you could simply try "\part{\hspace{1em}Foundations}" instead of "\part{Foundations}" in the source.

Hope it helps,
